Modeling and Scheduling Interruptable Multi Batching Server System

The interruptable multi-batching-server system (IMBSS) is abstracted from several complicated scheduling problems in different research areas, and the most important characteristic of IMBSS is that a server can be interrupted by accepting new service requests and/or releasing finished service requests. The IMBSS is modelled by object-oriented Petri-nets. Based on this model, elevator group control problem is taken as a typical case to show how to schedule the IMBSS. Simulation results show that the modelling method is feasible to schedule the IMB-SS, and the proposed scheduling algorithm behaves better performance in optimizing multiple objectives.
